Ok Khan absolutely dominated Judah and beat Alexander in a way that no one else was able to, Matthysse fought competitively with both. Khan won everything up to the point that Garcia clipped him and turned the fight on its head, there is still a question mark that Khan could fight differently and do better, and possibly win. Against Matthysse, Garcia proved conclusively he was the better fighter in a 12 round fight.
Are you honestly using a triangle theory with Alexander, Matthysse and Maidana? Also you mentioned common opponents, are Judah and Alexander not common opponents? You say that Judah and Matthysse was close, was Peterson-Khan not? Most of press row had that fight for Khan even with the BS point deduction in the 12th round.
At the end of the day:
Kotelnik
Malignaggi
Maidana
Judah
is better than
Peterson
Provodnikov
Molina?
Ajose? Soto?
That is who they beat officially. Even if you give Matthysse the Alexander win, his resume would probably still not be better. As I said its close but I would still put Khan ahead. So I think you were a bit overstating when you said he "proved" to be a better fighter at 140, because its just not true. If you think he is a better fighter based on the eyeball test, then I have no problem with that.
